QPR might be under new ownership? Cool!

Colour code please.

I would go for blue, perhaps with a white hoop?

Lambert is summoned to see Randy in the US; after a shit season; 4 days after he's announced the clubs for sale. There' s 3 scenarios

1. Lambert is dismissed
Last seasons performance is not good enough, thanks for your help - you're sacked.
New owners want their own man - he's sacked

2. Lambert quits by mutual agreement
Lambert is told there's no guarantees, new owner (if there is one) may want him or may not, but almost certainly not. He can hang around & oversee the transition or can go now with reputation intact - he quits.

3. Lambert stays
Lerner wants him to stay. Staying has other risks, club is in limbo with restricted funding for new signings, supporters don't want you, other jobs are available, reputation is not currently badly tarnished. There may be new owners, there may not. Against the odds he stays.

Doesn't take a lot on ITK to work out the probable outcome that Lambert quits, and / or gets paid off.
Just so I am sure. So basically you are saying either Lambert goes or stays?

Depends a lot on whether he went for the gravy or not.
Could have been...a sauce.


Sorry.

And rise to fame and fortune again, like Tony Coulis.

So you're all punning again. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Some of us come on here to ketchup with the takeover news.
